Stove repair in WashingtonArlington cooks on both fuels: electric smooth-tops in many apartment towers, gas in a lot of older buildings and houses. We repair both, from a zone stuck on high to burners that click without lighting, and quote before we start.
Appliance Surgeon offers same-day and next-day visits to Arlington homes and buildings. The $75 diagnostic visit is credited to the repair, labor starts at $200 on about 9 in 10 repairs, and every repair carries a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty.

On a radiant smooth-top, a single dead zone is usually the element or the infinite switch behind its knob. An element that stays on high whatever the knob says is almost always the switch. Stop using that burner, and turn the range off at the breaker if it won't shut off.
Glass tops also crack, and a crack that reaches an element is a reason to stop using the cooktop. Replacement glass is available for many models, often sold as a full top assembly, and we'll check the price before you decide.
On gas ranges, burners that click and won't light usually have dirty ports, a cap that's off center or a worn igniter. Two requests further down this page, from Cleveland Park in DC and Del Ray in Alexandria, show the gas side: a Bertazzoni with two front burners that wouldn't spark, and a KitchenAid that gave off a strange smell from the oven and burners.
Any gas smell is a stop sign. Don't use the range or touch light switches, get everyone outside and call Washington Gas or 911 from there.

Many stove repairs are completed in a single visit once the technician has diagnosed the fault and confirmed the parts on hand. If a specific part has to be ordered, we schedule a short return visit to finish the job.
Appliance Surgeon charges $75 for the diagnostic visit, or $115 for a double unit (such as a double wall oven, washer-dryer combo or stacked laundry), and the fee is credited toward the repair if you approve the quote. Labor starts at $200 and stays there on about 9 in 10 repairs; more complex jobs can reach $450. Parts are extra and listed in the quote. Igniters, spark switches and burner elements are usually quick, economical fixes; gas valves and smooth-top control panels cost more. Diagnosis names the part, the quote comes before the repair, and a burner stuck on high is always treated as urgent. Typical price ranges by appliance are in our appliance repair cost guide.
Common calls include burner not lighting, weak flame, electric burner not heating, clicking igniter, control knob problems and uneven heat. The exact cause is confirmed during diagnosis.
Switch the range off at the breaker until the repair. A zone stuck on high almost always has a failed infinite switch, and it can overheat pans and the glass. It's a common repair.
Take off the burner cap, clean the ports with a pin, dry everything and set the cap back flat. If it still won't light, the igniter may be cracked or the spark module weak. The Bertazzoni request we list had two front burners that wouldn't spark.
You can safely check that the burner caps sit correctly, the igniter area is clean and dry, and the breaker is on. Anything involving gas valves or internal wiring should wait for a technician - and a burner stuck on high should be treated as urgent, not tinkered with.
